of_alloc_and_init_fdt() and of_free_fdt() have been defined in
drivers/of/kexec.c to allocate and free memory for FDT.

Use of_alloc_and_init_fdt() and of_free_fdt() to allocate and
initialize the FDT, and to free the FDT respectively.

powerpc sets the FDT address in image_loader_data field in
"struct kimage" and the memory is freed in
kimage_file_post_load_cleanup().  This cleanup function uses kfree()
to free the memory. But since of_alloc_and_init_fdt() uses kvmalloc()
for allocation, the buffer needs to be freed using kvfree().

Define "fdt" field in "struct kimage_arch" for powerpc to store
the address of FDT, and free the memory in powerpc specific
arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup().

You could just change the kexec core to call kvfree() instead.

However, given all the other buffers have an explicit field in kimage
or kimage_arch, changing powerpc is to match arm64 is better IMO.

The first thing this function does is call setup_new_fdt() which first
calls of_kexec_setup_new_fdt(). (Note, I really don't understand the
PPC code split. It looks like there's a 32-bit and 64-bit split, but
32-bit looks broken to me. Nothing ever calls setup_new_fdt() except
setup_new_fdt_ppc64()). The arm64 version is calling
of_alloc_and_init_fdt() and then of_kexec_setup_new_fdt() directly.

So we can just make of_alloc_and_init_fdt() also call
of_kexec_setup_new_fdt() (really, just tweak of_kexec_setup_new_fdt do
the alloc and copy). I don't think the architecture needs to pick the
size either. It's doubtful that either one is that sensitive to the
amount of extra space.

Just call kvfree() directly.

Just to be clear:
I'll leave this as is - free FDT buffer in powerpc's 
arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup() to match arm64 behavior.

Will not change "kexec core" to call kvfree() - doing that change would 
require changing all architectures to use kvmalloc() for 
image_loader_data allocation.

ok - will move fdt allocation into of_kexec_setup_new_fdt().

I am not clear about the above comment -
are you saying the architectures don't need to pass FDT size to the 
alloc function?

arm64 is adding command line string length and some extra space to the 
size computed from initial_boot_params for FDT Size:

	buf_size = fdt_totalsize(initial_boot_params)
			+ cmdline_len + DTB_EXTRA_SPACE;

powerpc is just using twice the size computed from initial_boot_params

	fdt_size = fdt_totalsize(initial_boot_params) * 2;

I think it would be safe to let arm64 and powerpc pass the required FDT 
size, along with the other params to of_kexec_setup_new_fdt() - and in 
this function we allocate FDT and set it up.

And, for powerpc leave the remaining code in setup_new_fdt_ppc64().

Would that be ok?

Yes.

Actually, no. AIUI, kvfree() can be used whether you used kvmalloc,
vmalloc, or kmalloc for the alloc.

It's pretty clear that someone just picked something that 'should be
enough'. The only thing I can guess for the difference is that arm
DT's tend to be a bit larger. So doubling the size would be even more
excessive. Either way, we're talking 10s kB to few 100kB. I'd go with
DTB_EXTRA_SPACE and we can bump it up if someone has problems.

Also, I would like for 'initial_boot_params' to be private ultimately,
so removing any references is helpful.

Right.

That is good information. Thanks.

ok - I'll use DTB_EXTRA_SPACE for the fdt allocation.

I think that's because 32-bit doesn't support kexec_file_load().
